This startup builds apps for a million customers that learn in bite-sized snacks

Technology is certainly changing and improving how people are educated today, and one Seattle startup is well on its way to providing apps that help us learn with our new gadgets.

Founded by Microsoft vet Kalpit Jain, WAGmob debuted in December 2010 and has grown into a successful 50-person operation. The company just announced that it now has more than one million customers from 175 countries using its visually-rich apps to learn in WAGmob’s method of “bite-sized” snacks.

WAGmob is certainly moving fast and has hundreds of apps that run on pretty much any device and range from science, language and business. Anyone can use these apps, from a kindergarten student all the way up to a retiree who just wants some more knowledge.

The company has raised $655,000 to date from local angels and has offices in Seattle and India.
